The Town of Brownsburg's Advisory Plan Commission meeting on July 28, 2025, focused on several key developments, including discussions surrounding the proposed Meijer store and Crew Car Wash projects.
One significant topic was the environmental impact of runoff from the east, which could affect the properties involved. Concerns were raised about the pollutants that the School Branch is impaired for, as noted in a letter from Mary Adkins. The commission sought clarification on the specifics of these pollutants and how they relate to the proposed developments.
The discussion also highlighted the total expected land disturbance for the projects, which was noted to be greater than initially anticipated. The representatives from Crew Car Wash explained that their site is part of a master plan for the Meijer development, and adjustments have been made to the earthwork to accommodate drainage patterns. They indicated that while most of the site drains away from their property, a small section—approximately 10 feet—would pitch back towards them, which they cannot control.
Commission members expressed concerns about the implications of these drainage patterns and the potential environmental impact. The meeting underscored the importance of addressing these issues as the projects move forward.
In conclusion, the Advisory Plan Commission is actively reviewing the environmental considerations of the Meijer and Crew Car Wash developments, ensuring that all potential impacts are thoroughly assessed before proceeding. Further discussions and evaluations will be necessary to address the concerns raised during the meeting.
